Chapter 141: Unable to Be Lovers
After hanging around the bar door for a few minutes, Song Xingyu received a message from He Chi, asking her to go up to the office on the second floor.
There was another paragraph at the end. Song Xingyu read it carefully, her eyes lit up, and she instantly became more confident.
Among my brother's friends, only Chen Feng and He Chi have wives, so it should be right to listen to him.
Chen Ran saw her and called out, "Xingyu."
Song Xingyu walked over and said, "I'm busy now. Let's talk later if you have anything to say."
He pulled the man back and asked, "Are you looking for Brother Jin again?"
"I have some gossip about Brother Jin, do you want to hear it?"
Song Xingyu was in no hurry to go up now. "You don't look like you have anything good to say. I'll give you three minutes. Go ahead."
Chen Ran pulled her aside and said, "Tell me what happened between Zhang Qiaojie and your brother first, then I'll tell you."
Although she really wanted to know something from Chen Ran, Song Xingyu was not a person without bottom line.
She shook off Chen Ran's hand and said, "You can say it or not, I don't want to hear it."
Chen Ran explained anxiously, "I'm not doing this for gossip. I'm just worried about Sister Zhang Qiao."
Song Xingyu murmured, but didn't say anything. "She's fine, don't ask around."
Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Chen Ran stopped asking and said, "I overheard Jin Ge talking to his family on the phone. It seemed that his parents wanted him to go on a blind date."
"I thought it was something."
Song Xingyu said nonchalantly, "He is the same age as my brother. It's normal for his family to be worried about him since he's not dating or getting married."
After she said this, she went upstairs. Chen Ran was about to go back to work when he caught a glimpse of Song Xingyu coming back.
The waiter over there was calling him, and Chen Ran asked him to wait a moment.
He asked Song Xingyu, "What's wrong?"
Song Xingyu didn't speak immediately. Instead, she looked at Chen Ran seriously and asked, "Chen Ran, are you and my brother brothers?"
Chen Ran straightened his chest and said affirmatively, "Of course, we brothers are loyal to each other. We are willing to stand up for each other at the critical moment..."
"Alright, alright."
Song Xingyu asked again, "Is my grandma usually nice to you?"
"Of course, Grandma Song is just like my own grandma."
She laid so much groundwork, and Chen Ran understood that she was asking for his help. "Just tell me clearly, I'll definitely help you if I can."
"Be my spy. Tell me if anything happens in He Jin."
Chen Ran said in embarrassment, "Isn't this asking me to betray my brothers? Brother Jin is also my brother."
Song Xingyu's eyes gradually drooped. "My grandmother's health is getting worse and worse, and my brother is a stubborn person who refuses to compromise."
"I finally met someone I truly love, but I still can't pursue her. Sigh, my Song family might be extinct..."
As she spoke, she covered her eyes as if to wipe away tears. Chen Ran sighed, "Don't say anything, I'll help you."
Song Xingyu's expression changed instantly. She giggled and said, "When I get married to He Jin, I'll invite you to sit at the main table."
Then, she happily went upstairs, leaving Chen Ran standing there doubting his life.
The bartender came over and patted Chen Ran on the shoulder. "I told you that you'd be easily defeated by women in the future, but you didn't believe me."
At the office door, Song Xingyu took a deep breath and looked in the mirror to see if her hair was messy and her lipstick seemed a little faded.
After a while, she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
He Jin was busy with his work. It seemed that the door was locked by He Chi. He didn't want to get up, so he said, "You closed the door. Go open it."
He Chi raised his eyes lazily and glanced at him, with no expression on his cold and deep face, but he still stood up.
He opened the door and slipped away.
Seeing that it was Song Xingyu, He Jin was stunned for a moment, "Miss Song."
Song Xingyu followed He Chi's instructions and silently said in her heart, "Don't be anxious, stay calm, Song Xingyu, you can do it, you must show your arrogance as a young lady."
She nodded and took out the prepared medicine from her bag. "I'm sorry, I was drunk that night. Please don't mind."
The scars on He Jin's neck were very obvious, red and seemed to be inflamed.
Song Xingyu seemed to be much colder than before. He Jin didn't know if she was still upset about him rejecting her.
His eyes fell on the medicine bottle on the table. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Miss Song, you are very good, but I..."
Song Xingyu interrupted him, "I understand. Feelings can't be forced. I respect your opinion. But, He Jin, if we can't be lovers, can we still be friends?"
For some reason, He Jin felt a little empty inside. He smiled softly and said, "Of course, you are welcome to come to Shiyou often in the future."
It turns out that he looks so gentle and elegant when he smiles. Usually he seems to be quiet and doesn't like to smile.
Song Xingyu almost felt that she could not pretend anymore.
"Um...you're busy, I'll leave first."
She walked a few steps, then turned back and pointed at the wound on He Jin's neck and said, "Remember to apply medicine. Even small wounds should be taken seriously."
Song Xingyu ran downstairs and saw He Chi still in the bar, sitting at the bar counter.
She walked over and asked in a low voice, "Brother He Chi, I just did everything you said. Is this really going to work?"
Hearing the excitement in her tone, He Chi replied patiently, "Yes, if it doesn't work, I'll knock He Jin unconscious and carry you to the bed. Are you relieved?"
Song Xingyu quietly opened the photo and showed it to He Chi, "Brother He Chi, if you can't do it, I will give this photo..."
He Chi's face darkened and he reached out to grab her phone, "Where did you get it?"
Song Xingyu smiled playfully, "It's a secret."
He Chi: “…”
Seeing Song Xingyu running away triumphantly and He Chi with a gloomy face, Chen Ran was extremely curious.
He walked over and asked, "Brother Chi, what were you talking about just now?"
He Chi was just worried about having no place to vent his anger, and just then, Chen Ran, the big enemy, came over.
He raised his hand and gave Chen Ran a slap on the face. "You're everywhere. A grown man who only knows how to gossip all day long. Just do your job well."
Chen Ran covered his head, which was hurt by the blow, and said aggrievedly, "It's not my first day to gossip..."
He Chi went up to the second floor. He leaned against the door with his hands folded and suddenly said, "There are a lot of similar medicine bottles lying around. What's so special about the one Song Xingyu gave you that you're staring at it so hard?"
He stood there for a long time, but He Jin didn't notice him.
Turning his head to glance at He Chi, He Jin tried to brush it off, "I'll just take a look at the instructions."
Hearing this, He Chi laughed and said, "You'd better be."
He Jin said, "You're back just in time. Have you read the plan I made? If you have, please give me some feedback."
He Chi picked up the phone on the table and said, "I haven't looked at it yet. I'll talk about it tomorrow. I have to pick up my wife."
He Jin: “…”
He Chi walked out of the bar, opened his phone and checked the message. Jiang Yining had gone home more than ten minutes ago.
When he returned home, Jiang Yining had just come out of the bathroom after taking a shower.
He Chi blocked the person at the door, a smile on his lips, "Teacher Jiang, please explain why Song Xingyu has that photo of me?"
